On the afternoon of April 11, 4620 A.D., the naval battle between the Chinese Navy and the British Royal Navy Expeditionary Fleet had come to an end, and the Chinese Navy had begun to clean up the battlefield in this area of water and save the crew from the overboard. Although, it's already spring. The waters of the Indian Ocean are no longer so cold. But for those sailors who fall into the water, if they are not rescued for a long time, they will also freeze to death.

The warships of the Imperial Navy were assembling towards the place where the flagship battleship 'Fuxi' was located. Marshal Cheng Biguang, the commander of the fleet, stood on the deck, looking at the damaged battleships, his eyes were full of emotion. In this battle, the Imperial Navy still won. From now on, the balance of maritime power between countries in the world will change drastically. Before this naval battle, there was a triumvirate struggle between Britain, the United States and China. But since then, it has been a showdown between the two powers.

Moreover, the experience accumulated by the Chinese Navy through this naval battle, coupled with the performance of the Chinese Navy's warships, makes the strength of the Chinese Navy faintly able to overwhelm the Navy. If it weren't for the fact that the industrial strength of the United States is very perverted, forcing them to be in a hurry, they could have launched new warships like dumplings. The Chinese Navy is fully capable of gaining maritime supremacy.

However, the rest of the world does not know that the Chinese Navy has made a breakthrough in the technology of aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft. Therefore, even if the United States is very strong in industry. However, in the early stages of the war, the Chinese Empire was just as capable of achieving a landslide victory. As long as the Americans can defeat them before they can transform their terrifying industrial power into war power. Or rather, to make them pay an unbearable price. Then, China will also win the future war. From now on, the world's maritime supremacy will be the Chinese Navy. China will also become the new world hegemon.

Of course, before the showdown with the Americans, the Chinese Navy has one more opponent to solve. That's the Japanese. According to the plans of the Empire. By the next year, in September 4621, the empire's war against Japan would begin. Imperial Navy, there is still a year and five months to be combat-ready. When the time comes, the empire will solve this mortal enemy in one fell swoop. Then the empire will be able to plunge into the struggle for world hegemony without worries.

"Marshal. Our battle damage report is out. Lieutenant General Liu Guanxiong sent a report to Marshal Cheng Biguang.

Marshal Cheng Biguang nodded, opened the report, and read it carefully. The first part of the report is the losses of the Imperial Navy in this naval battle.

In this naval battle, a total of two battleships of the Imperial Navy were sunk, namely the second ship of the 'Longteng-class' battleship, the battleship 'Longxiang', and the lead ship of the 'Pinghai-class' battleship, the battleship 'Pinghai'. Another battleship was heavily damaged, the battleship 'Huaxia'. Except for the capital ships. The heavy cruisers of the Imperial Navy also had one that was heavily damaged and not sunk. On the light cruiser side, two 'Qinglong-class' light cruisers were heavily damaged, and none were sunk. In terms of destroyers, the Imperial Navy had four 'B-class' destroyers sunk, two C-class destroyers, and one D-class destroyer. Two destroyers of the 'B class' were heavily damaged and one destroyer of the 'D class' was severely damaged. The number of killed was 3,224 (including the missing. Missing in a naval battle often means being killed). 1,508 people were seriously injured and more than 2,000 were slightly injured.

Seeing such a big loss, Marshal Cheng Biguang couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart. These casualties are all the elite of the Imperial Navy! There are also quite a few young officers who have just graduated from the naval school. However, for the sake of the empire, they gave their young lives.

But. The results achieved by the Imperial Navy this time were even more astonishing. In this battle, the Imperial Navy sank 17 capital ships of the British Navy, and captured the capital ships. There are five. Two heavy cruisers were sunk, and one was heavily damaged. Ten cruisers of the first rank sank. 21 light cruisers were sunk, 8 were heavily damaged, and only a very small number of light cruisers escaped at the last moment. The number of destroyers sunk was also as high as 25, four more were heavily damaged, and only a few destroyers escaped.

The number of casualties of the British Navy is naturally unknown to the Imperial Navy. But, to be sure, very, very much. The Royal Navy will definitely be devastated by this war. The British Royal Navy has joined the real main force of the Royal Navy in this expeditionary fleet. Not only are the battleships the most powerful in the Royal Navy, but even the personnel are elite. Originally, they thought they would be able to win a victory, revive the prestige of the Royal Navy, and consolidate British maritime supremacy. But who knows, in the end, it will be a painful defeat?

"Our casualties are not small! After returning home, we must do a good job of bereavement, and we must not chill the brothers who have been killed or injured. Marshal Cheng Biguang advised. Although, under the severe blows of His Majesty the Emperor, the discipline of the Empire* army was very good. However, it is still very difficult to completely eradicate certain ugly phenomena.

"Yes, Marshal, I will keep an eye on this matter for myself, I promise, it will never happen." Lieutenant General Liu Guanxiong said.

"Order the fleet, complete the rescue of the overboard sailors as soon as possible, and then return to Batavia. Once you're done resupplying, head back home. Marshal Cheng Biguang said. This time, the Imperial Navy fought a decisive battle with the British Royal Navy Expeditionary Fleet, which can be said to have exhausted all the main forces. Neighbors to the east are ready to move. If they take advantage of this opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the Empire, it will not be easy to deal with. Therefore, the Imperial Navy must rush back as soon as possible to deter the Japanese.

Lieutenant General Liu Guanxiong nodded: "Yes, Marshal." However, after we won this war, little Japan will not dare to be presumptuous from now on. When we completely destroy Japan next year, they will lose the opportunity to confront us. ”

The top brass of the Imperial Navy had already learned that the Imperial was about to take action against the Japanese next year. This was also a plan that was conceived to deal with the Japanese Navy's 'Yamato-class' battleships and 'Amagi-class' battlecruisers. After all, if the construction of the 'Yamato-class' battleships and 'Amagi-class' battlecruisers of the Japanese Navy was completed, the Imperial Navy would definitely pay a greater price if it wanted to completely annihilate the Japanese Navy. Rather than this, it is better to launch a preemptive strike.

At this time, a communications officer approached with a telegram.

"Report Marshal, Chief of Staff. Project 121 submarine called. The staff officer reported.

"Submarine Project 121? What's the matter with them? Lieutenant General Liu Guanxiong took the telegram. However, when he read the telegram, he couldn't help but laugh. Marshal Cheng Biguang looked at him in surprise. In the eyes of Marshal Cheng Biguang, Lieutenant General Liu Guanxiong is a very stable person. It is precisely because of this that he intends to take Lieutenant General Liu Guanxiong as his successor.

"What's going on?" Marshal Cheng Biguang asked.

"Marshal, the submarine project 121 discovered the battleship 'Emperor of India', which had previously withdrawn from the battle. And, ambushed the battleship 'Emperor of India' and sank it. Therefore, this time we have to add another 'Emperor of India'. Lieutenant General Liu Guanxiong explained.

"Haha, that's good news. Thankfully, we haven't sent out the good news yet. Revise it immediately and send it to His Majesty the Emperor. Marshal Cheng Biguang said with a smile. In this naval battle, the Imperial Navy sank or captured all the capital ships of the British Royal Navy Expeditionary Fleet, except for the flagship battlecruiser "Hood". This is undoubtedly a fatal blow to the Royal Navy!

"Yes, Marshal." Lieutenant General Liu Guanxiong nodded.

Yanjing, the capital of the empire, the imperial palace, Wu Haoxuan's study. Wu Haoxuan paced back and forth anxiously. There is no news from the front line yet, which makes him very nervous. Although, he had a lot of confidence in the Imperial Navy. However, I can't help but be a little worried. After all, this time the opponent is the Royal Navy, which has dominated the world's oceans for hundreds of years! The British have been able to stand for hundreds of years, and naturally they have their own uniqueness.

This time, the Chinese Navy is doing its best. If this battle can be won, the strength and international status of the Chinese Empire will be further enhanced. But if it fails, the empire will be greatly affected. Unless the Imperial Navy's first-class fleet aircraft carrier can be commissioned, the Imperial Navy will have to keep a low profile from now on. Of course, although this will not cause the empire to fall, it will have an extremely important impact on the future strategy of the empire, and it will even be related to the empire's war against Japan next year. If the Imperial Navy had suffered heavy losses, the war against Japan next year would have to be postponed. At that time, it is possible that both the 'Yamato-class' battleships and the 'Amagi-class' battlecruisers of the Japanese Navy will enter service. If the Imperial Navy wanted to win, it would have to dispatch the aircraft carrier fleet, which was a secret force. That would undoubtedly make the Imperial Navy lose a lot of advantages in the future.

"Hopefully, the Imperial Navy will win this battle." Wu Haoxuan said secretly.

"Your Majesty, a telegram from Marshal Cheng Biguang." Lieutenant General Zhao Hu, the chief of the guard, had a happy look on his face.

Seeing the joy on Zhao Hu's face, Wu Haoxuan finally put his mind at ease.

"What? Huzi, is that good news? Wu Haoxuan asked.

"Your Majesty, victory! The Imperial Navy has won a complete victory! Zhao Hu said excitedly. (To be continued.) )
